Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Are redheads cool or what? It's taken over ten years of research to find the facts and information that I present in this book - information that defines the redhead culture - without really identifying it. I didn't want to write a book that just listed names of redhead celebrities and famous people, although there are names of hundreds in the book. More interesting to me were the surveys and studies that show how redheads are perceived by others, and how they perceive themselves. I was also fascinated to find all the strange historical data concerning redheads, with contradicting folklore and fables. I'm proud to be a redhead myself, and I invite every redhead and redhead admirer to get The Redhead Encyclopedia to discover for themselves a truckload of neat information and little-known secrets about the flame-haired.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, January 21, 2001
By A Customer
I was disappointed in the book. I don't like the fact that DYED REDHEADS are portrayed as "Redheads". I am a natural redhead, I have a son, a daughter and a grandson who are all natural redheads, and we definitely don't look like we dye our hair. By the way, the Judds are definitely natural brunettes. Just look at some old photos or videos! Some things were interesting, the folklore, history and old stories, but overall the book was a disappointment. As one of the other reviewers said, "science can't duplicate what nature perfected". She's right!

2.0 out of 5 stars A big disappointment for a natural redhead, January 6, 2000
By A Customer
The book was a disappointment for me. I am a natural redhead, and I thought that the list of famous redheads would be -- natural redheads --. Anyone can buy a box of haircolor and become "red". An example? Wynnona & Naomi Judd...both natural brunettes! The funniest example is in the chapter "Political Figures".....I did not know that Malcolm X was a redhead! In all fairness, there are some very interesting facts, stories, superstitions and folklore. Those things were interesting. But, being born a redhead, and still having red hair after 33 years, I must say that it is almost insulting to see names listed who definitely dye to get their look. And I've never seen anyone with dyed red hair that it looks natural! Science can't duplicate what nature perfected!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better read (and red) than dead..., August 15, 2001
By "tommel6" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
A good, but short, encyclopedia of one of this black haired gentleman's favorite subjects - redheads... Although I am biased because I happened to be married to a lovely redhead and friends with another redhead, I found this book to be quite interesting and filled with fun facts (but alas no photos...) about redheads. A star was deducted because it had no pictures and because some fake redheads were included...

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute
Cute for random facts about redheads and famous redheads. It's really more of a curiosity book for fun, nothing really educational.
